We are looking to have the vendor ID auto populate with a strictly sequential numerical code. Is this possible? Would not need and letters in the ID, strictly numerical classification as we create a new vendor. We are just now setting up the system and have not gone live yet. Currently, we have been unable to make this happen.
How do you auto populate a vendor ID number when creating a new vendor?
HI
You do not need to have letters in the ID. It can be strictly numbers.
You will need to ensure that you have set up the segment keys to AutoNumber for the VendorID

You will also want to make sure that Manual Numbering is turned off on the Numbering Sequence.

Here is also the help documentation on how to set that up:
Hello ,
In configuration → Segmented keys we can define an auto-numbered Vendor ID.
We create an Automatic Numbering Sequence in Numbering Sequences screen, and link the two, like this:

Thanks for the information! We attempted that earlier but wasn’t seeming to solve the problem. I will go back and attempt again.

If you can share screenshots of your current setup, that may help also.
I am receiving the following error on the Numbering ID when selecting “auto numbering”
“Numbering ID cannot be used with '1' segment: Ensure the segment's length matches the length of the numbering.”

Hi
Can you share the setup?

Hi
What is the Numbering sequence set up? Click the pencil next to VENDOR and share that:

can you check to see if values on the numbering sequence screens are also 10 characters:

Hi
Along with what
Also, look at the Edit Mask, you could make that Numeric

an easy way to do it is to delete the existing numbering sequence line and readd it using 10 characters or less and this should also populate the other fields for you
start number: 0000000001
let me know if that works!
Thanks
